When to Pick Fruit.

When fruits are mature, they make
preparation for falling, just as mature
leaves do. A distinct line is formed
upon the stem of the fruit, in prepara-
ton for the separation. When the APP
pie or pear is mature, it will separate
from the tree without any pulling; mere
lifting the fruit from its hanging posi-
ton to a horizontal one, will cause the
separat on from the tree to take place
at once. A lite observation will
teach when the fruit is ready to be
gathered. At this time, the fruit hay
ing made its growth, derives nothing
more from the tree, After the fruit is
full grown, its next step is towards de-
cay. Decay in early kinds comes in a
few days or weeks. In the late sorts
il requires several months, but wheth-
Ell early or late, there is stage in this
progress from maturity to decay, when
the fruit best suits our purpose. and we
say, that is ripe" or mellow" or
IN eating" This time in early kinds
comes very quickly, and other varie-
ties do not assume it before spring.
Early kinds come Into eating condi-
tons" so soon, that they will bear but
little transportation, hence are suited
only to near markets. But these vary
greatly, and there are from very early
and autumn ripening kinds, to the very
latest The fruit-grower should be a
careful observer of these points. The
best fruit may be spoiled or materially
deprecated in value by careless pick
ng and handling. Properly construct
ed cold storage houses will do much
towards keeping fruit in good condi-
ton, but unless the fruit is picked at
the right time, it cannot be kept profit
ably even in the best fruit house.

Relatively to size. the horse has a
smaller stomach than any other OF
our domestic animals. This makes
It necessary that he must feed
frequently, digest promptly, and
have rich materials in email
bulk, thus adapting him cs-
pecially TO perform rapid work. In
state OF nature he is under
no necessity of eating too much
at any one time, but replen.
ishes the stomach lightly and at
frequent interval throughout the day
There is no overlooking, nor overtask-
ing the organ, and no extreme exertion
upon full stomach. which so often
takes place in the domesticated condi-
ton. Even in domesticatiou. horse
will maintain excellent health on
natural grasses, fresh or made into
hay; but when he is placed under the
saddle or in harness, and subjected to
work, we take him from his natural
state, and the same feeding will not
longer meet the demands of the sys-
tenn.

Mr.. EDTTOR:-I have received several letters
from acuuantances in Illinois and Iowa, ask
ing me to tell them the facts in regard to the
understandable Fuel Cartridge, which is being
introduced by the Coupon Introduction Com
pany. No. II, Courtandt street New York.
have carefully examined the cartridge, and
know it's compositions and hence, can truly say
that ii is practically indestructable, and can
not explode. The outside cylinder, of iron
wire, holds in place mass of understandable
composition. which absorbs pint of coal oil
(kerosene), which is, of course, the fuel. The
mineral composition is non fusible, and hence
will last for an indefinite period. When ig-
nitrd, the external flame or heat draws the oil
to the surface, and combustion isperfect. BY
actual experiment. | find that q tea kettle
with half gallon of water in ii, can be boiled
in less time than it takes over a coal fire. The
heat is intense, and the flame being carried by
the draught well back and up against the top
of the stove or range, the process of boiling
or cooking is most speedily accomplished. ii
is no eXagGcration to say that an ordinary
meal can be cCOked for one cent. | consider
this cartridge real blessing to housewives
(and specially in hot weather., and one ought
TO be found in every one of our prairie homes

AikaiI Lands of the South west.

On the desert plains of the West and
the Southwest are large white patches
of land, commonly known rs alkali
soil. The popularity is caused by the
presence of carbonate OF soda. Even
in the irrigated valleys much of this
substance is found. and in places it is
impossible to raise crops on account Of
its excess.
On the desert plateau, where agri-
culture is impossible, the presence Of
the alkal is of no economical disad-
vantage, but in the fertile valleys it is a
source of much trouble to the agricul-
turists. BY the natural processes of
evaporation at the surface and capilla-
ry rise from below. these salts. which
are present in variable quantities in
nearly all the soils OF the Southwest
tend to accumulate near the surface,
and form the etilorcscence, which gives
the appearance above noted Such a
soil, aside from the destructive effects
of the alkali, cannot be used for crops,
because even the most thorough cult
walton only results in breaking the soil
up into hard Jumps. Each irrigation
softens it, but as soon as the sun has
commenced to dry the surface. it be-
comes hard and cloddy.
Asystcm of drainage must therefore
be established, and in this way the
land can. doubtless, be made of great
value, for it is naturally rich. The
broadcast culture OF cereals is the worst
possible crop for an alkaline soil.
They arc readily killed. do not admit of
cultivation. and give little protection to
the soil against evaporation. Deep root
ing crops which shade the ground are
especially well fitted for such soil. Al
falla, very profitable crop in the
Southwest, takes readily to alkaline
soils, if the salts are not too abundant
All fruits, especially the sweeter kinds,
are found to flourish in slightly aka
line ground. Possibly sugar-cane and
sorghum will find the soil adapted to
thoI demands.

The expert business az applied to
mines is getting to be a serious evil. 1t
is almost impossible nowadays 10 get
both an honest and intelligent report
on a mine. If the expert" has no in
tercst in the sale and is not especially
paid by the promoter to make a fayora-
bic report, the chances are decidedly
against the contamination Of a sale. On
the other hand some graduate of Fret
burg or other archaeological school,
comes and examines the property and
makes a report that is, perhaps, as wide
of the real facts as could be imagined.
In either Of these cases the purchaser is
victimized and declares mining a hum
bug, The facts are that persons who
gamble N stock think it necessary to
employ brokers, besides posting them
selves upon the conditions of the mar
ket. In buying mines, however, they
employ n so called expert, and the
whole subsequent management is en-
trusted to an incompetent or inexperi-
enced manager. The inevitable result
of this is disaster, and mining is de-
nounced as a wildcat investment. If
persons desiring to invest would spend
a portion Of the money to experts, in
visiting a locality and becoming &C
quainted with the property, the would
be fewer failures in mining ventures

Good Indications.

Every indication at present points to
a season Of successful advancement and
improvement throughout the extent oil
our mineral bearing territory and I'm
less some unforeseen event should check
the growing interest which is being
manifested in the financial centers OF
the east, there is good reason to antici.
pate the establishment and develop
ment Of our mineral resources to a
larger extent than has been heretofore
witnessed.
The present movement has many
more features, which give promise Of
success, than any other which has been
so frequently launched upon tho sea Of
mining excitement, and if better man
agement prevails which looks more to
the establishment and future prosperity
Of this great industry than to the inn
mediate robbery of every capitalist who
seeks investment, the result would be
more favorable.
There are many proofs yet visible that
in some degree show that old methods
will be attempted and the same spirit Of
reckless seltishness, which has too large
ly prevailed in mining camps, will in
some degree work the same results and
destroy the harvest, which might other
wise continue to be reaped for years.
Thousands of the best mines Of the
country and scores of well-built and
carefully adapted mills have been closed
down and left TO destruction to crafty
some selfish purpose or satisfy some
personal spite and the failure Of the
mine and mill has been attributed to
the uncertainty and hazardous qualities
which are supposed TO belong to mining
matters generally. This action reach
ING farther than its own locality, has in
a large measure hindered further invest
ment in this same direction and left ar
~unfavorable impression and influence
upon public opinion which has largely
influenced consequent action in regard
to this industry.
A better knowledge in regard to the
requirements aud possibilities, with
wider experience, has made many oil
the old-time methods, row worthless

attempted will produce the same results
wherever they are able to do their
work. Hence it behooves mine owners
and those interested in the permanent
and prosperous development of mining
localities, TO be vigilant and wise in re-
gard to these matters.
Every disappointment and discourage
ment, particularly if it ear be traced to
fraud and dishonesty, leaves a strong
impression which rankies long after the

The Navy Department has contracted
with the Pneumatic Dynamite Gun
Company, Of New York, for the con-
struction Of a dynamite steel cruiser, to
be completed by June |. IF this vessel
is all that is claimed for it, then the
harbor of New York will be safe from
any foreign fleet. The work on this
vessel will be fastened on account Of
possible complications between this
country and England. Congress author
lied the completion Of this vessel last
year, but very little has been said about
it, and the fact that the department has
completed the arrangements for it's
building is not generally known.
This vessel is to carry three dynamite
guns, each capable of throwing with ac-
curacy 200 pounds ofdynamite a distance
of n mile. The contract provides that
each gun shall be capable of being dis
charged once in two minutes. These
are to be guns of ten ond one-balf inch
calibre. The company has promised to
make them twelve inches. 1.-THE guns are
made Of that capacity they will be
capable Of throwing 400 pounds of dyna-
mite, which would be sufficient to blow
up the largest vessel known to any
modern navy. The contract specifies
that the vessel shall have a capacity of
twenty knots an hour, which means
twenty-three miles Of speed. There are
very few vessels of great capacity capa-
bic of making any such speed. None of
the heavy armored vessels Of modern
times will be capable Of running away
from this new cruiser. She is 10 be go
feet long, 26 feet breadth of beam. with
- feet draught. and $500 horse power.
The government contracts to paw e,r
her s350,000. The company has given
bonds to carry out this contract. 1.-THE
vessel does not reach the speed named
she will not be accepted. The contract
also specifies that these guns are TO be
fired with safety and accuracy at objects
